An unfortunate reality of our moment is that (1) lots of us feel powerless to help deal with the various disasters floating around us and (2) there are lots of such disasters, often so bad they impact our physical (mapped) world.

A small but significant way to help is updating Open Street Map, since it is used by emergency teams around the world; here’s links to emergency mapping going on in Alaska, Maui, and Vermont right now: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-us/2023-August/022052.html
